Alternative Goes Mainstream... Or Does It?

Ye gods! Those winged media minions of “the powers that be” have been busy little monkeys in the last week or two! The timing makes the situation hardly a surprise, particularly here in the UK. The Bilderberg Group have once again held one of their contrived confabulations where the “great and near great” sit around tables sipping their particular poisons and decide the next step of global governance. The most recent meeting occurred at The Grove Hotel, Hertfordshire (June 6th-9th 2013), so it does figure that there would be at least a smidgeon of token media coverage.

However, Bilderberg has rarely had mainstream publicity on the scale it is currently receiving. Whilst there was a time when this kind of collective and secret global strategizing was vehemently denied even its existence, in recent years Bilderberg has been acknowledged (albeit in a downplayed and dismissive manner.)

To hear those involved talk about it, you would think it was little more than a glorified gentlemen’s club, full of heady economic and political discussion (perhaps one or two whipping boys for the fun of it!) but not much else to write home about. However, we must bear in mind that those who attend are actually amongst the most powerful and influential people in the world, so it would be a little naïve to think that Bilderberg meetings are their “well deserved break” from running the world - an occasion where all discussion of future-planning and decision making are strictly taboo subjects…

All of a sudden though, the unthinkable is starting to happen. Representatives of the mainstream media are actually taking about Bilderberg in a realistic fashion. I nearly fell through the floor last week when the subject was raised on Channel 4’s political satire programme “10 O’Clock Live.” David Mitchell even went so far as to label the attendees (in a straight faced and serious manner) as “the elite rulers of the world.”

Interestingly, Bilderberg appear to have pandered to all viewpoints this year with the Bilderberg Welcoming Committee using their Press Office “to facilitate the mainstream and alternative media in their coverage of the meeting.” Actually the whole blurb on their website makes for amusing and telling reading material:  http://bilderberg2013.co.uk/

Alex Jones managed to make a sizeable appearance on Andrew Neil’s “Sunday Politics” – a piece that, some state, has always served as a “credible” (although it actually is nothing of the kind!) discussion of current affairs. Even fellow guest David Aaronovitch admitted that Bilderberg is doing exactly what it says on the tin. The interview eventually descended into Jones’ typically loud mouthed, abrasive, tub-thumping – with mention of cancer causing vaccines and FEMA camps… unfortunate given that the vaccination subject is a very important one and makes one ponder the implications of its inclusion.
Although these subjects have always been a staple of Jones’ rhetoric, you can’t help but wonder about the contrivance and convenience (on the part of MSM) of the whole affair… this is without even mentioning the credibility of Jones.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YB7ZaK7Oa88

Furthermore, an even more curious programme has been advertised recently that begs the question; just what the hell is going on in the mainstream media? In the past, I have kept a watchful eye on the work of Miles Johnston and the abduction support group AMMACH. Miles’s “Bases” videos have always been a fascinating source of information regarding the extent of mind control programming and the possible capabilities of the human consciousness. Despite this, I have always maintained a degree of level-headedness when viewing these pieces – long before one or two of my fellow truthers warned me eye the material with caution.

So, out of the blue, there appears the face of Miles Johnston and others involved with AMMACH in a trailer advertising a new programme; “Confessions of an Alien Abductee”. The various trailers have included a man who insinuates that he has had intimate relations with an ET cat lady (much to the annoyance of his wife apparently) and a woman who claims that her abduction experiences seem to increase every time she has chicken for her tea. Here is some of the usual (ahem!) “coverage” from The Mirror’s website:http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/ammach-britains-weirdest-support-group-1940401

The implications are obvious here. Although it may be the case that those who have been involved with the making of the piece did so with the best of intentions, the tone has been clearly established – let’s all have a good chortle at the loopy-loos! Without getting too uppity, I have continually maintained that it is a mistake for anybody (with serious issues to discuss) to be duped into taking part in any programming produced by the mainstream, no matter how honey-voiced the editor in chief may sound. I understand the frustration felt when the old hypnobox simply won’t touch reality with a cattle prod, but we perhaps should have learned our lessons by now. The BBC’s Conspiracy Road Trip hit pieces are enough to demonstrate the real intent here.

Never the less, some feel that we may have actually turned a corner regarding the current truth stalemate; that perhaps there is room to gradually merge the interests of the alternative and mainstream media. Before some of you get out your party poppers and noise makers, and declare victory, I will pose a few questions regarding MSM:

• Why is it that some issues are metaphorical plague carriers in the media? Why do they never address the energy cover-up (or Dr Judy Wood’s research) on BBC current affairs programmes or evening documentaries and satirical comedy shows?
• Why now should anybody care (in mainstream media) about the reality of the world? When did they suddenly develop a conscience or grow a pair of truth kahunas (and why)!? 
• If they are suddenly concerned, why do they still perpetuate the tin foil hat wearing paradigm and why are many subjects treated as little more than comedy material?

 

It may be that a corner has been turned with regard the manner in which the media wants to be perceived (“a little truth can go a long way” – as it were.) We should always keep in mind what the media represents. There is no middle ground there. Some people will maintain that media control is far from all-encompassing and that truth does slip through. This is actually true, but these revelations are never delivered in a direct and straightforward fashion.

 

Any truth in the mainstream media is filtered through the lens of vagaries and metaphor, sometimes combined with misinformation, other times as nothing more than an exercise in deception and misdirection. The media does what it has always done and will never change; it programmes us. There is a perfectly good reason why intelligence agencies, the military industrial complex and psychological/social engineering outfits can often be found lurking around the darker corners of broadcasting corporations. It is reflective of the very nature of the mechanism.

 

Ironically, the movie “Network” once highlighted the parody that is the MSM. All is pre-packaged and designed for your adjustment. Whilst truth is an elusive and often ill-defined commodity, never delude yourself into thinking that you will find it beyond the flickering glow of the box in the corner.

 

Believing that you’ve found some truth there, leads to a very slippery climb indeed!

 

Peace my friends.

BBC 7/7 Bombings: Conspiracy Road Trip

On Monday, the BBC aired the first of three new “Conspiracy Road Trip” programmes. The subject: the 7/7 bombings. For those of us already familiar with the “hit piece” nature of these shows (thanks to last year’s 9/11 Conspiracy Road Trip) the tone  was hardly surprising. Four researchers (or “conspiracists”, as the BBC called them) were taken around the UK, retracing the steps of the alleged bombers, interviewing “experts” and those affected by the events, as well blowing up a London bus in a quarry.

As comedian Andrew Maxwell introduced us to the trippers (Layla Randle-Conde, Davina, Tony Topping and Jon Scobie) he made no bones about the true intentions of this programme: to “change the minds” of those involved. In an ideal world, such a programme should obviously have been more concerned with examining the questions that have been raised about the official 7/7 narrative. Sadly, we don’t live in such a world.

As with the previous 9/11 piece, the issues raised were confined to a few of the more obvious aspects that anybody (believer or not) could easily answer for themselves. The first matter: whether or not the alleged bombers were capable of being just that, involved going to the home town of the four individuals and talking to people in the community about their suspicions. It was strange that the programme highlighted how uncomfortable people have become in voicing their concerns and opinions, for fear of reprisals. It is also a shocking reminder of the land we really live in, one where it is dangerous to have an opinion. The issue here of not suspecting a person of being capable of terror or murder is superfluous to the subject. We hear stories everyday of how the nice, friendly neighbour or family member we thought we knew, has suddenly bludgeoned somebody, etc. We also know there are people with sick minds, capable of carrying out horrendous terrorist attrocities. Interviewing a psychiatrist about the surprise felt in a community about such events, adds nothing new here.

Neither does recreating a train journey to see if one can arrive within the same time frame as a previous journey, as witnessed when the four trippers retraced the steps of the four alleged bombers. Public transport is notoriously unreliable. Trying to arrive on the dot on several journeys following the same route at the same time of day is nothing short of a miracle.

The next matter raised was the absence of CCTV footage on the tube itself and the underground platform. Whilst expert Brian Paddock admitted that he didn’t really know why this was the case, his point about possible equipment failures is a plausible one, although a bit convenient. More importantly, I noticed the absence of any discussion about the mysterious car caught on car park CCTV when the four men parked their own car (as addressed in previous shows of Richplanet TV regarding 7/7) and the anomalies within the existing CCTV footage – such as limbs that seem to pass through metal railings, etc.

In order to drive home any feelings of guilt we should feel for remotely questioning our so called “honest” leaders and media, we were presented with somebody who was front and centre in the event. This matter has evoked a strong reaction within the media following the programme. It has been suggested by many that even discussing 7/7, especially in this context, is insulting and disrespectful to those involved and the families of the victims.

As I have said many times in the past, I have never meant any disrespect when addressing issues like 7/7 and 9/11. I cannot conceive of what it is must be like to be in the shoes of someone who has suffered a loss in such an event. The only thing I do know is that if I had lost somebody in that way, I would want to know how it happened and why. If the person offering me the answers was somebody I trusted, I would accept their answer. If they had no answer to give, I could begrudgingly accept it. But if the answers were given by somebody I didn’t trust, I feel I would owe it the person I loved to keep asking until I knew for sure, and if there was even a remote chance that I’d been lied to I would want to know why.

Returning to the programme, further questions were raised about whether or not the alleged bombers were patsies or duped into their actions, whilst a secondary operation was conducted. This raised the mock terrorist drills conducted by Peter Power’s security outfit at the same time and in the same location as the events that occurred. Power’s unsurprisingly declined to take part, but did issue a statement that the mock drill was confined to a single room with only six people sitting around a table. Much of the information regarding this drill and Peter Powers has been glossed over in the programme, so I will include links at the end for anybody interested in learning more.

The next issue was the notion of pre-planted bombs under the tube carriages. Counter Terrorism Consultant Chris Hunter claimed that the pattern of destruction was consistent with bombs in the carriages, rather than beneath. He also said, “To suggest that the government would carry out an attack against its own people, is quite frankly ridiculous.” He has obviously never heard of Operation Gladio then… one of many examples proving that such things have happened throughout history.

The final aspect concerned whether or not homemade devices could blow up a London bus, by taking a London bus to an abandoned quarry and doing just that. This obviously proved that it could be done, but doesn’t really prove anything else!

A final interview with the father of a 7/7 victim rounded out the program.

The usual tactic of including plenty of footage of crying, shouting, arguing and “I’ve seen the light!” moments filled much of the rest of the hit piece. As with the 9/11 piece, key issues were also blatantly ignored. The 7/7 programme employed a couple of new, quite subtle tactics. Layla purposely set up several scenarios in order to “catch out” Tony. Those unfamiliar with these two individuals may have fell for the set-up, however I have had a few questions about these two for a while. I cannot for the life of me understand how Layla ever became involved in this trip, other than because she seems to fit the goals of the programme makers. I knew from the moment I saw her name involved, that she would end up professing her belief in the official story. Tony, whilst maybe having the best of intentions, has made a few bizarre statements over the years in various talks and articles on other subjects. Davina, I know nothing about. Jon Scobie, on the other hand, conducted himself very well and stood fast to his position until the end. Whilst I may not agree with his some of his views on certain matters, I respect him for having the balls to stick with his principles.

Jon has given an interview since the programme aired, revealing some interesting details about the production. It seems that over 35 hours of footage was filmed of the trippers and carefully edited for effect. He claims that he raised many of the crucial issues surrounding 7/7 and made continual references to Gladio and MI5's admitted involvement in Real IRA bombings, all of which were cut. He raised the admitted prior knowledge of 7/7 such as the warning received on that very morning by Bibi Netanyahu , who was due to attend a conference in a hotel situated directly above where one of the blasts took place, which was also cut. He also says that the director continually tried to prompt them into making statement that would better suit their goals in the programme. I understand that you cannot really air a 35 hour programme, but you would have thought that such important information would have remained... alas this is the BBC we are talking about.

He also claims that an interview with terrorism expert Crispin Black, has Black slamming Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell, Jack Straw, et al, regarding the Downing Street memos and the Iraq debacle. He also says that they “dug their own graves” and “need to be held up for treason”. Unsurprisingly, this never made the final cut.

There was a slight change in tone between this road trip and the last. The final interview with the father of a victim has him questioning why intelligence agencies failed to prevent 7/7, given that they had been monitoring one of the alleged bombers for possibly 10 years. This is quite a critical view of UK intelligence and doesn’t especially make it into such BBC hit pieces.

There was also an interesting remark made by Maxwell in the closing moments: “Who am I to be suspicious of the media, the political classes or the cops, I am too…”

It is possibly that the BBC realised that many people saw through the charade with the last road trip. Perhaps they believed by being just a little more user friendly, it may restore their credibility. Unfortunately for them, this doesn’t wash with many people anymore. You’ve been ratted out, Auntie Beeb! We know that you are riddled with Tavistock and Common Purpose graduates, and we can see you for what you are.

This is nothing to do with us believing in “conspiracies”, as you think. It’s just that people have long since stopped trusting you…

And like the story of the boy who cried wolf, we ain’t listening anymore.

Until next time,

Some Updates, Derby Event & New BBC Conspiracy Road Trips

The last few weeks have been a busy time for me. Aside from my truth album project and preparing my first talk, I’ve also had to deal with some work related glitches and juggle a few other things. It really is a shame that we live in a world where we are trapped within the money concept and therefore have to work in order to get any. I’m not a slave to material consumerism, but even finding the money to pay the bills and get the essentials, highlights the disproportionate gulf between the cost of living and wages. It is a vicious circle and therein lies the trap, not only is it incredibly difficult to get out of this system – but it was designed (and is still perpetuated) that way. Imagine what we could accomplish if we didn’t have our noses to the grindstone all the time! This is a subject for another time though…

This Sunday (30th September 2012) is the “Not on the Six O’clock News” event in Derby. I posted all the details in my last article and you can get the full lowdown here:
http://tinyurl.com/not6news
Times: 11am - 10pm (Doors Open 10:30am)
Location: YMCA Derbyshire, 770 London Road, Wilmorton, Derby, DE24 8UT.

I just wanted to remind folks about it because it really will be worth attending if you can. Not only is it a bargain (at £15 - for a full day event), but the speakers are also amongst the finest researchers around. Andrew Johnson is organising (and speaking at) the event, with additional 2 hour presentations from Richard D Hall, Neil Sanders and Lloyd Pye. I had the opportunity to see Lloyd’s latest presentation at Truth Juice in Birmingham just over a week ago and was staggered by the implications of his evidence regarding The Starchild Skull. The same can be said of the research of all the speakers who will be attending. It really is “open your eyes” stuff!

Also, don’t forget that the BBC will be airing the first of their new propaganda/hit pieces on Monday. The subject of the first Conspiracy Road Trip “programme” is 7/7. Although I would never recommend anything that “Auntie Beeb” excretes out the TV screen, it is worth watching in order to gain some insight into how the creation industry is dedicated to screwing with the perceptions of the masses. It also should allow anybody who has researched the true nature of this false flag event, to better set the record straight with those who might buy into the lies perpetuated in the media.
Here are some (ahem) “details”:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01n6zt7
And the dates and times can be found here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01nbt65/broadcasts/upcoming

I should be back to posting more regular articles next week.
Until then, thanks for your continued support and readership. It really is appreciated.
Keep smiling and the best to you all.

More BBC 'Conspiracy Road Trips' On The Way…

 After some months of quiet on the subject of the BBC’s forthcoming “Conspiracy Road Trip” hit-pieces, some details are finally starting to trickle through. I have spoken to several people in the alternative community regarding who has taken part, who has been interviewed, etc., and it seems that they are either staying quiet on the matter or they know little more than I do!

 The three new “programmes” will apparently air in the autumn and will cover the 7/7 bombings, Ufology and (of all things!) Creationism. The latter seems a bizarre choice of subject matter for a “conspiracy” hit piece… maybe they figured that any other serious subjects could not be so easily swept under the carpet. In all likelihood (although I'm loathed to say it!), I will probably be in agreement with their stance regarding Creationism... unless the Beeb do something very strange and take a pro-creationism stance! I wouldn’t put it past them…

 The important thing here is the two other subjects. I covered last year’s 9/11 Conspiracy Road Trip (around the time it aired) and placed my existing contempt for the BBC aside, in order to analyse it with a level head. It was hardly surprising that the subject was handled in such a flippant and muddled matter, totally ignorant of the bigger issues (Hurricane Erin, the seismic anomalies, the dustification of the towers, etc.) and cleverly edited in order to make those involved look like a bunch of psychologically unstable twonks… No offence to those involved, of course. http://thetruthseekersguide.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/bbcs-911-conspiracy-road-trip.html

 With more programmes on the horizon, I had some serious concerns about the way in which 7/7 and Ufology would be assaulted. Several voices in the alternative community have tried to reassure us that this time would be different – especially the Ufology segment. In April, Richard D Hall commented on Ben Emlyn Jones’ HPANWO blog; “With all due respect the budget for the UFO part of the series is huge and I have talked in great detail to the production company. They are using well known investigators and researchers from the states also. Things are changing in the media and the BBC has assured me they are not out to ridicule anyone, plus I have seen the schedule and it is very impressive. This will be a good one to take note of.” http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/bbc-makes-ufo-conspiracy-road-trip.html

More recently though, it seems his initial confidences have been shaken. He briefly touched upon the matter during his 2012 Tour and said that he was "ignoring phone calls” from those behind the production…

 My own concerns were further justified when I happened across an article by PZ Meyers, a biologist and associate professor at the University of Minnesota, who was interviewed for the UFO segment. He said, “They were all very nice people, but they ranged in rationality from people who’d experienced unexplained events and were trying to figure out what happened, to a real loon who was utterly convinced that Jews were alien hybrids, reptoids had hybridized with humans, and the stone blocks of the pyramids had been cut with lasers. We argued for an hour or two, all of it was recorded, and I’m sure it will all be cut to the 5 juiciest minutes for the final show.” http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/05/12/my-day-in-flagstaff/

Yes this really is Layla Randle-Conde!

 In the last few days though, I have come across a few articles that have apparently confirmed my fears. The 7/7 Road Trip participants have been confirmed as Researcher Tony Topping, Layla Randle-Conde (writer for a paranormal/alternative magazine, who is also a model & fortune teller), Jon Scobi of WAC Birmingham, and former policeman Brian Paddick. Layla Randle-Conde has said, “I had lots of arguments with my fellow travellers about whether the theories were true.” http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/Joining-hunt-test-7-7-terror-attacks-theories/story-16322371-detail/story.html
It appears that the practice of divide and conquer (amongst the trippers) has been effectively utilised yet again…

 Tony Topping also concluded, in a recent article discussing the trip, “not all officialdom is involved in state sponsored terror, and further that CCTV evidence on the 7/7 does not reveal anything but ballistics does place homemade bombs at the scene.” http://www.tonytopping.com/?p=1048

A baffling conclusion to say the least…

 The presenter of the programme, comedian Andrew Maxwell, has also spoken about the forthcoming hit pieces. “The whole point of the show is not to try to change people’s beliefs… It’s just to smash ideas back and forwards.” ("Smash" is about right Mr Maxwell!)

 He also says, “‘these people will question anything from a verifiable news source, one that’s willing to back what it says in the courts. But they will believe anything they read on the internet.” The article confirms the involvement of John Lear in the Ufology segment and makes some staggering remarks that highlight just “how seriously” this segment has been taken.

In contrast to the 7/7 film, which features ‘no laughter’, Maxwell is confident that stories from the UFO documentary will make into it his forthcoming Edinburgh Fringe show, legal advice permitting.

He and the conspiracists visited the mysterious Area 51 in Nevada but he can’t say whether they entered the infamous ‘secret’ base, which was only publicly acknowledged by the US government in 2003.

‘We got in a little bit of trouble making that one, which legally I can’t go into any more right now, it’s still in flux. Needless to say, it’s the most wacky of the films and we met a lot of eccentric, eccentric characters.’

One was Ufologist John Lear.

‘He told me there’s an underground tunnel from Area 51 that pops up underneath the kitchen of the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas. Apparently, all children are abducted from Earth and taken to the moon, which has 20 billion people living on it and was invented inside Jupiter.
They’re abducted at the ages of three, seven and thirteen and taken overnight.
‘I told him: “My children aren’t going to the f**king moon!” And he replied: “You needn’t be alarmed, it’s just a routine check.”’
http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2012/06/25/15655/andrew_maxwell_asks%3A_was_7%7C7_a_conspiracy%3F

 One final observation about these programmes: why do all those participating have to be aged between 18 and 35? The official BBC blurb calling for people to take part states: “Applicants must be between the ages of 18-35.” I’m not trying to suggest that the only credible researchers on these subjects are over that age… however I believe that the best are! I do know that many were contacted, but largely to ask them if they knew of anybody in the assigned age range.

 As I have said before, I know that if these experts were allowed to take part, it would be a very different “programme.” There would probably be no in-fighting, no emotional blackmail, just some serious evidential based issues being raised. That is why these types of people would never be allowed to take part. It would undermine the entire point of the “hit-piece”.

So there you go. The outcome doesn't look good. It would appear almost laughable if it wasn't such as serious matter. I’m sure we will see the fruits of the BBC's labour when the shows are broadcast!

Until Next Time.

9/11 Legacy - Part 3: "The Day The Light Came On!"

   In February 2003, Tony Blair’s Labour Government issued it’s ‘proof’ of Iraq’s “Weapons of Mass Destruction” capability, to UK journalists. These documents were used to justify its involvement in the invasion of Iraq. The documents became known as “The Dodgy Dossier”. The reason for this label became clear when numerous journalists and researchers quickly discovered that much of it’s content had been plagiarised from various, less than authoritative sources. “The most notable source was an article by Ibrahim al-Marashi entitled Iraq's Security & Intelligence Network: A Guide & Analysis, which was published in the September 2002 issue of the Middle East Review of International Affairs” (Wikipedia). Aspects were repeated verbatim (including typographical errors), certain amendments were made to strengthen the alleged findings and no reference was made to the origins of the information, other than "a number of sources, including intelligence reports".

   This dossier became the exclusive argument for the Iraq invasion and used by George Bush in his “State Of The Union” address. An address signalling the forthcoming war. It became extremely important that this dossier be taken at face value, considering that in July 21, 2002, British Cabinet Office briefing papers warned officials that any war, executed on the basis of regime change, was illegal. Also relevant is the (July 23, 2002) secret British Downing Street memo warning officials that Saddam Hussein was not a threat, that President Bush was determined to invade Iraq and U.S. officials were fixing their intelligence and facts around their policy to go to war. In September 2002, one of Tony Blair's most senior aides told intelligence chiefs their draft dossier failed to demonstrate "an imminent threat" and that Saddam Hussain “does not demonstrate the motive to attack his neighbours, let alone the West". The UK government knew the risks, yet proceeded anyway.

   With Bush‘s claims that "Saddam Hussein still has chemical and biological weapons and is increasing his capabilities to make more" and daily news articles telling the public that such weapons were capable of hitting the west within “45 minutes”, those behind the war plans felt secure in the knowledge that an uninformed public would support the war unquestioningly. Whilst a few people could already see the true agenda at play, most were still in the dark. However, it was (ironically) the BBC that was about to change this situation.



Andrew Gilligan

   Andrew Gilligan wrote a report for the BBC, claiming that the Dossiers had been deliberately exaggerated. His research led him to an unauthorised, off the record interview with Dr David Kelly, a British scientist and expert on biological warfare (employed by the Ministry Of Defence) and formerly a United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq. Kelly was asked by the British Government to proof-read all aspects of the Iraq Dossiers and was very concerned about many aspects of the documents, specifically the “45 minute” claim. In his interview with Gilligan, Kelly told him of his concerns over the 45-minute claim and allegedly ascribed its inclusion in the dossier to Alastair Campbell, the director of communications for Prime Minister Tony Blair, in order to “sex up” the Dossiers. He also asked Gilligan not to reveal his identity in these articles. The report was broadcast on 29 May 2003 on the Today programme, stating that the 45-minute claim had been placed in the dossier by the government, even though it knew the claim was dubious.

   In June 2003, Kelly visited Iraq to inspect (what was claimed to be) some mobile WMD production labs. Kelly was unhappy with the description of the trailers and spoke off the record to The Observer on 15 June 2003. He said, “They are not mobile germ warfare laboratories. You could not use them for making biological weapons. They do not even look like them. They are exactly what the Iraqis said they were - facilities for the production of hydrogen gas to fill balloons”.

   Andrew Gilligan wrote a follow up to the original item on The Today Show, in The Mail newspaper. Here, he directly identified Alastair Campbell as the person responsible for adding the 45 minute claim. The UK Government immediately denied any involvement in the intelligence content of the dossier and lambasted the BBC, calling them liars and pushing them to reveal the name of the source. Kelly subsequently contacted his superiors saying, "I am convinced that I am not his primary source of information". The MOD publicly admitted that “an employee had come forward who might be the source”. When pushed, they confirmed it was Dr David Kelly.

   It is believed that this was strategic decision made by Tony Blair in order to discredit Kelly directly. Many individuals went to great pains to muddy his character, describing him as a “Walter Mitty like, fantasist. The Government also launched a huge operation (coincidently spearheaded by Alastair Campbell) to effectively destroy any remaining independent elements of journalism in the BBC. Initially targeting Andrew Gilligan, they also successfully managed to decapitate the BBC by forcing Director General Greg Dyke out of his job. It would be fair to say that, if any independence of reportage remained in the BBC, it probably ceased to exist that day… something that we are now truly feeling the repercussions of in all media aspects of Western society.



Dr David Kelly

   Dr Kelly was called to appear (on 15 July) before the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Select Committee (which was investigating the issues Gilligan had reported) where he was aggressively scrutinised about his actions. He denied meeting with Gilligan. On July 18, Dr Kelly was found dead in some woods near his home in Oxfordshire. The ‘official’ account states that he committed suicide through an overdose of painkillers and significant blood loss caused by slashes to the wrists. ‘Depression and Stress’ was related as the reason.

  Independent investigations and research into his death has discovered some curious aspects. It appears Dr Kelly’s body was moved from it’s original resting place, to a spot that became known as the ‘official’ site of his death. It appears that both the drug intake and degree of arterial injury weren’t substantial enough to cause death. There was a strong police presence near his home just before his disappearance. Also huge aerials were reported as being erected in his garden!  A few months before his death,  British Diplomat David Boucher asked Kelly what would happen if the West were to invade Iraq. Kelly answered by claiming that he “would probably be found dead in the woods”.

   Whatever subsequent inquiries say and despite the protestations of politicians, medical examiners and journalists, it seems likely that Dr David Kelly was murdered. Was it to silence him because he didn’t exactly tow the party line? We may never know…



Robin Cook

The following awakening was astonishing. In politics, MPs and cabinet minister alike, showed their disapproval of the Iraq War and the intelligence that led to it. Politicians like Norman Baker and Clare Short raised their heads (even if briefly) above the parapet to join the growing chorus of dissent. Some like Robin Cook, who died as a result of a ‘heart attack’ on a mountain in Wales , possibly met the same fate as Dr Kelly.  Hundreds of thousands of people marched through the streets in peaceful protest against the wars, carrying placards and banners with slogans like “Not In My Name”, “No War For Oil”, “No WMDs” and “Bliar” (Blair the Liar). The powers that be had been caught, well and truly, with their pants down.

   The likes of George Bush and Tony Blair would never be looked at in the same way again. Of course, all of this is compounded by the fact that, in the end, no Weapons Of Mass Destruction were ever found anywhere in Iraq… even to this day. In January 2004, ex-US arms hunter, David Kay, stated on record that there were no WMDs in Iraq. In December of the same year, a US report from the Iraq Survey Group stated on record that there were no WMDs in Iraq. The very next day, the CIA made the same statement. In December, an ex-CIA agent claimed he was sacked for not faking intelligence reports on Iraq’s WMD capability. By the end of the year, The White House decided that it was no longer looking for WMDs.

   In 2005, George Bush made a staggering comment: That the US was in Iraq because of 9/11. The statement is misleading, 9/11 actually allowed the circumstances in order to get away with Iraq… at least initially. Today, on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Western governments and mainstream media has an edict that runs scared of connecting Al-Qaeda and 9/11 to Iraq. Whether illegal or not, the instigators of the war have gone unpunished for a crime they now call “regime change”. This buzz phrase is now the tactic they have latched onto as a means to commit unspeakable acts across the world. The most important factor, though, is that with Iraq, we finally saw the truth exposed for what it was. These events proved that governments cannot always successfully hide the truth from the people. This scares them to death. In the UK, more people believe they were lied to over Iraq, than those that believe the government propaganda. This is truly a victory for the truth.

   It is here that we should remember the road travelled. Iraq came from 9/11, even though it had nothing to do with 9/11. There is a legacy to 9/11 that should be discussed. It is disrespectful to NOT ask the questions. We need to expose the lies. Those who were TRULY responsible for 9/11 should be called to account. This is how we can respect and honour the victims. All of them. People like Dr David Kelly, anybody who has been innocently accused of crimes and tortured to death as a result of the destruction of civil liberties, anybody who has spoken up and disappeared, the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed in illegal wars, the oppressed and all those who died on September 11, 2001.

For all this, we should continue to remember 9/11.
Not for trite reasons… but for the right reasons.

9/11 - Part 5: "WTC 7"

   World Trade Centre Building 7 was a 47 storey building adjacent to The Twin Towers. I was aware of the building and it’s location (like many of the landmark buildings of New York), through years of interest in Americana and US pop culture… hence my interest in the unfolding events  of 9/11. I taped hours of news coverage on the day and was totally confused by the BBC’s reporting of the collapse of WTC 7. At 5.08pm,  BBC correspondent Jane Stanley announced that the WTC 7 had collapsed… not started to or about to collapse… actually gone. This was confirmed by the news anchor in the studio:

"The 47 storey Salomon Brothers building close to the World Trade Centre has also collapsed."

I knew where the building should have been in relation to the landscape and was bemused to see it standing in clear view, in the background, as she spoke live about the collapse. As eyewitness testimony (and official record) shows, it would not collapse for another 12 minutes. Did the BBC cock up and accidentally reveal that they had prior knowledge? This was one the key events of 9/11 that has since made me question the ‘official’ story. The collapse of WTC 7 got very little attention at the time. In the days, months and years since, those who manipulate and control the agenda  have tried to dismiss, even ignore it. Even the BBC have subsequently “lost those key tapes” from their archives. Thankfully, some of us had our VCRs running!

   WTC 7 allegedly collapsed as a result of fire… a handful of moderate fires on 2 floors to be exact. Like WTC 1 & 2, the building collapsed at free fall speed, into it’s own footprint. It was not hit by a plane and it was only mildly damaged by falling debris after The Towers collapsed. When examining the footage of this building, it appears obvious that it suffered little more than minor damage and burning. If we believe the ‘official’ account, then this must have been a very shoddily constructed building, to fall so easily! It would also make it the first steel high-rise building in history to collapse due to mostly fire.

   Like The Towers, there are oddities leading up to the collapse.  At 6.47am of 9/11, WTC 7's fire alarm system was placed on "TEST" mode for an eight hour period for "maintenance or other testing". Any alarms that were received from the system were not shown on the operator’s display, considered the result of the maintenance / testing and ignored. Several demolition teams were documented as being at Ground Zero (mid afternoon) and witnessed WTC 7 collapse. Several Ground Zero rescuers were heard (and filmed) saying the WTC 7 was going to "blow up" and will be "coming down soon". Others mentioned they were told around 3 p.m. that it was going to collapse and others were waiting around for it to fall. These accounts began about 3 hours before it collapsed. Indeed, the FDNY Deputy Chief Peter Hayden stated that at 2pm: “we  were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Centre would collapse”. At 4.15pm, CNN reporter Aaron Brown reported: "Building 7, in the WTC complex, is on fire and has either collapsed, or is collapsing” (this footage is available on Youtube).

   When the building went, A NYU medical student (who was watching the WTC 7) heard a clap of thunder, a shockwave rippling through the building, windows popping outward, then saw the bottom floor cave out followed by the rest of the building. Many researchers have pointed to footage of the collapse, that could indicate what looks like the central column supports “going” before the rest. The remaining debris from the WTC 7 was speedily removed without investigators having the chance to examine the wreckage at the scene to help determine the cause of failure. This was also the case with The Towers debris.

   Danny Jowenko was a Dutch explosives and demolition expert. He did not know about WTC 7 and was shown the footage of the collapse, but not told it took place on 9/11. After watching this he said, “Does the top go first? No. The Bottom… They simply blew up columns and the rest caved in afterwards. This is controlled demolition. This was a hired job performed by a team of experts.”

   Jowenko was then told by the interviewer that it took place on 9/11. His reaction was shock and surprise. “The same day?! Are you sure?!.. Are you sure this was the 11? That can‘t be”. After a long pause he said, “Then they worked hard!…. It‘s without a doubt a professional job. They knew exactly what they’re doing”. When asked to estimate how it would be carried out, he said that you would need experienced men: 30 to 40, 2 with a cutting torch, some to clear the walls, some to hook up the detonation cord and boosters and others to hook up the electronic systems. Jowenko subsequently went on to become an advocate of 9/11 truth.

   He sadly died in 2011 and his death has raised questions in the truth community. He was killed in a car accident, driving from church when he collided head on with a tree. There was also a dog in the car who survived.  If his death was related to his work to uncover the truth, we may never ultimately know.

   The significance of this particular building is not lost on some people. Despite the building being pretty much empty, some have claimed that Mayor Rudy Guiliani’s command centre (which allegedly orchestrated the events in WTC Plaza) was based in WTC 7. Whilst it is hard to prove this, it would be convenient to destroy evidence of said operation in the collapse. It has also been widely recorded that the CIA’s undercover “New York Station” was housed in WTC 7. Whilst it has been documented that over a billion dollars of gold were stored in WTC 4, it is also claimed that Gold Bullion was stored in WTC 7 too. This may be corroborated by eyewitness accounts of Gold Bullion being found in tunnels under WTC 5, when the site was being cleared.

It is also very well documented that key evidence in the ENRON scandal investigation was stored there and destroyed during the collapse. The ENRON scandal is inextricably linked to 9/11 through George Bush. ENRON Corporation was the biggest financial backer of Bush in the 2000 election and supported his career since his ‘Governor of Texas’ days. There is a huge amount of evidence linking Bush to Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling (both key players in ENRON leadership). Lay served on Bush’s transition team in 2000 and donated $290,000 to his campaign. Dick Cheney was also connected to ENRON, which he consulted at least 6 times before announcing US energy policy. ENRON collapsed due to manipulation of massive expansion of it’s global holdings, through the help of politicians on the payroll.  Executives sold their shares at the top of the market and encouraged employees to buy up shares. With the meltdown of ENRON, certain individuals made a killing. They so expertly played the system. It would make sense that exposing the activities of these people would reflect badly on the administration at the time. What a coincidence then, that key evidence in this case was lost on 9/11...

   Then, of course, there is the statement made by Larry Silverstein, the WTC leaseholder, who said (on record, viewable online in video form): "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is ‘pull it‘". And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse" (PBS - 09/10/02). Any demolition expert worth their salt, will tell you that (what with all the road closures, debris and chaos) it would have next to impossible to set up the kind of operation needed for a ‘clean pull’ like WTC 7. Especially in only, a maximum window of, 8 hours. With this in mind, certain individuals must have had advance knowledge of 9/11 in order to set up the demolition of WTC 7.

   There may be some pieces of coincidental evidence to prove this supposition though.  In July of 2001, Larry Silverstein signed a 99-year lease for the rest of the WTC (just six weeks before the attacks). At roughly the same time, his insurance brokers changed WTC policy. The new policy allowed for the possible destruction of the towers to counted as two separate insurance claims (one per tower), instead of the original policy that counted both towers as one claim. On 9/11 itself, FOX reporter Jeffrey Shapiro said that several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers had told him that Larry Silverstein was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the WTC 7. The ultimate outcome of Silverstein’s foresight, allowed him to pocket $861 million (a profit of $478 million) for the collapse of WTC 7 alone. With the following court battles (to claim double payment for The Towers), he was ultimately awarded just under 5 billion dollars. Not a bad days work at the expense of such tragedy and loss of life…

   The overall ‘official’ account and investigation of the collapse of this building has been a whitewashed lie of the highest order. The FEMA report, regarding WTC 7 gives no concrete conclusion as to why it collapsed. It states only that it MAY have occurred through fire alone and that additional study would be required. The 9/11 commission report almost ignores it’s existence, saying only that the collapse was “highly improbable”. To this day, there has been no further ‘official’ investigation into the collapse of WTC 7. Exposing the truth about this particular aspect of 9/11 may bring us closer to definitive answers. Maybe that is why debunkers, the powers that be and the propaganda machine goes to great lengths to pretend it never, ever happened.

What THEY won’t touch on, is where WE may find the answers.
To Be Continued…
